Members of the Jetsetters, the Alliance High show choir, will spend St. Patrick’s Day competing at Sheridan High in Thornville.

This follows the North Coast Show Choir competition Feb. 24, where senior Char’Metria Threats was named Outstanding Performer.

The Jetsetters gave fellow students a preview of their show during a dress rehearsal. The show includes: “Big Time;” “I’m a Star” with soloist Kiera Hairston; “The Distance You Have Come” with soloist Char’Metria Threats; “Disconnected” with trio Phoebe Jackson, Braijon Clayton and Destini Howard, and “Break My Stride.”

The show choir has had a successful season so far, earning Class B Champion, best vocals and best choreography in Class B, and fourth runner-up overall in the Nov. 4 Ada Music Fest Show Choir Competition. DeSean Hollins was named Outstanding Performer that weekend.

At the Findlay Fest Show Choir Competition on Jan. 27, the Jetsetters were fifth runners-up in the Small Mixed Division and Char'Metria Threats was named Outstanding Performer.

Jakc Shields, Phoebe Jackson and Devin Thompson have been in Jetsetters throughout their high school careers.

“It’s a close-knit group, and it’s gotten me closer to people I wouldn’t know otherwise,” Shields said. “It’s something I can do with friends, both competing and representing my school.”

“It’s one of my favorite things in high school. I look forward to class every day,” Thompson said.

He feels he has improved in “my dancing - by far - my facial energy, my energy overall, and my ability to hit moves” in his four years with the group.

Jackson said she had admired the Jetsetters since seeing her older sister Samantha perform with them.
